Well, he had 3 objections,
 1 regexp (which I fixed),
 2 scheme (I didn't know scheme well enought, so I couldn't fix that)
 3 something about "precedence ordering" which I didn't understand,
   I asked about it but he didn't explain it

The "CVS" string was a hack to skip the CVS dirs inside the cvs tree, I
could just as well leave that out.

The g_strconcat("cvs/", entry, NULL) was also a shortcut, just as your 

 $ grep '"sym' ~/.gEDA/cache-symbols.scm
 (define cache-dir-name "sym_cache")

something to be solved later if the patch had any chance to get applied.

So I really don't understand your conclusion. But I suggest we drop 
this now. I only wanted to make the point that things are not layed out 
for c. It is to make it easier for the scheme part, and any incentive 
to make it easier for a c-caller are rejected. Hence a comparision 
would be unfair.

And as a sidenote, since c-development wasn't seen favourly, my 
involement faded.

I have a dev-box I have meant to install but I have been ill since
some time so things have been lagging.
